Recovery event meeting planned

The next planning meeting for the Guiding Hearts with Hope Recovery Event will be held Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the YWCA Hanover, at 23 W. Chestnut St.

The nonprofit Guiding Hearts is planning a second recovery event, titled “Healing from Within – Join the Voices for Recovery,” to be held Saturday, Sept. 14.

Last year’s event, held at St. Joseph Church, included speakers and addiction specialists coming together to offer a positive, non-denominational message of healing for those suffering from addition and their families.

Guiding Hearts organizers Martha King said the group is looking for sponsors and volunteers.

“Volunteers are a vital component to this event and the planning is a year-round process,” she said.

For more information, contact King at 717-968-3083 or e-mail atadvocacymom@embarqmail.com.

Boil-water advisory lifted

Biglerville has lifted a boil-water advisory that had been in effect since last week for water customers in the eastern portion of the borough.

Borough Secretary Sandi Vazquez said officials were notified Wednesday morning that water samples taken earlier in the week had come back clean. She said the borough updated residents and businesses affected by the advisory through an automated telephone calling system and with a posting on the borough’s website late Wednesday morning.

The borough issued its boil-water advisory Thursday evening, warning affected residents not to drink the water without first boiling it for one minute and then letting it cool. The move came after a series of leaks to pipes in the borough dropped water pressure to the eastern section of town, affecting about 100 water customers. With the drop in pressure, there was a possibility for water to become contaminated.

Doug Hays, water and wastewater operator for Biglerville, said repairs to the leaks were completed Saturday. The borough had been losing an additional 25,000 gallons of water a day, he said.
